Review On these 36 songs, Smith stands out most for his âbanjerâ picking. Heâs a speedy beast with the instrument -- The Washington CityPaper, Nov. 11, 2005 Very good stuff... you'll have to have this because of the warmth & depth... damn, could he ever play banjo! -- NO Depression,Nov/Dec issue, 2005 âMore than four decades later, the 36 songs that compose In Sacred Trust are as instructive as they are mesmerizing.â -- Harp Magazine, December 2005 issue Product Description On this album of never-before-released work, mountain music virtuoso Hobart Smith (1897-1965) plays banjo, fiddle, guitar and piano in addition to singing, clog-dancing, and reminiscing. Taped shortly before he died by fellow banjo player Fleming Brown, Smith brings US back to a vanished era in these deeply personal recordings. Includes an 80-page book, with historical photos, lyrics, and two tablatures. From the Artist "Hobart Smith was a first-class musician and showman, all right. Played by himself. Didnt carry a band. Played all the string instruments, too, and was a mighty fine buckdancer. He was a good guitar bluesman, a great old time fiddler, and Id have to say,he was the best old-time banjo picker I ever heard." BILL MONROE
